Best tweets as the Gunners unveil new £32m man.The world of social media exploded into life yesterday evening as Arsenal announced the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona for a free of around £32m.
Following on from the club-record £42.5m deal that saw Mesut Ozil arrive at the Emirates Stadium on deadline day of last summer’s transfer window, this latest signing signifies a real change of direction from Arsenal in the transfer market, and has created a real sense of excitement and positivity among their fanbase.
From high-profile fans and bloggers to jealous supporters of other teams, including some remorseful Barcelona fans, fanatix takes a look at some of the best tweets from last night as the Sanchez deal was confirmed by the Gunners.

£25m for Lallana, £35m for Alexis. There’s a chasm between those two. — Seb SB (@premleagueowl) July 10, 2014

I endured a transfer window were the main talking point was if we would up our £2m offer for Mark Schwarzer to £5m. I’m enjoying this.
